Drivers traveling State Highway 50 near the Jerome-Twin Falls county line should plan ahead this week as scheduled bridge maintenance will narrow traffic to a single lane on Thursday, June 11.
The work is slated to run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., affecting travel in both directions. During that window, vehicles will be channeled through one lane with alternating directional flow managed by flaggers on site.
An 11-foot width restriction will also be enforced during the maintenance period, meaning oversized vehicles or loads wider than that limit may need to seek alternative paths before the work begins.
Transportation officials are encouraging drivers to consider alternate routes to avoid delays during the nine-hour work window. Those who must use SH-50 should expect brief stops and allow additional travel time.
What Comes Next
Barring any weather delays or complications, the single-lane restriction is expected to lift by 5 p.m. on June 11, returning SH-50 to normal two-way traffic. Drivers with oversized loads should confirm conditions before scheduling passage through the area.
